You have EU-MM-6.56, which is not the version of EU::MM that shipped with your ActivePerl. Sure enough, if I update EU::MM to version 6.56 on AS build 1006 (which is the same build of perl as you have) I get the same error as you.

Simplest way to fix this would be to resort to the original version of EU::MM that shipped with build 1006 - and the easiest way to do that would be to just re-install ActivePerl "on top of" the existing perl installation.
Then check that the version you have is reported as "6.55_02" (which, I think, might be different to the version 6.55_02 that's on CPAN). If it still reports 6.56, then we have to try and work out where that version 6.56 is located, and why it is being found instead of the version that ships with ActivePerl.

Cheers,
Rob
